It looks more than a little like your avatar shot. Same location anyhow.
Which means they have trolled here...

And Chris can't get a straight answer on Swift. Hmm.
Kinda slimy feeling.

I have now received a reply from these folks that a business partner of this outfit used to work at Swift. Someone whom I actually knew well. That is the extent of their claim.

Four of us Arkansas guys have them; we all feel the quality is good. There is some minor work with a file for proper fitting, but I doubt any more than fiberglass needs. My body shop said that his PPG rep had warned them about paint adhesion to some of the aftermarket urethane products being produced.
The body shop said it took a couple of try’s to get the sealer to not lift. I have yet to pick them up. So we'll see!

My $.02 about the sealer. I actually sanded mine down and washed them really good with a scotch brite and dishwashing soap. So far no problem.

Just to share finished with the forum on the GT3 Tek splitters.

Bumble-P got a makeover recently (Darrin/Mark at FDMotorsports - SSK, Goldenrod, PSS10 install, RoW TT Rear Sway) then immediately got bitten by the Euro front. I got rid of my crushed up old fiberglass splitters and bit on the GT3 Tek ones. Must be one of the first in production.

Combined with Alvin's shop expertise locally here in Burlingame, I was a happy camper. Sunset supplied the OEM Turbo S ducts. I've been on the road, so this is the first time the car had a wash since the front end got done.

Overall, I felt that fit and finish were excellent, and a hair better (looking at edge line up) than the garden variety fiberglass ones.

Enjoy!

Ben
